9 Amendments to HKFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities Paragraph 5A is added. New text is underlined. Scope 5A Except as described in paragraph B17, the requirements in this HKFRS apply to an entity s interests listed in paragraph 5 that are classified (or included in a disposal group that is classified) as held for sale or discontinued operations in accordance with HKFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.

In Appendix C, paragraph C1D is added. New text is underlined. Effective date and transition C1D Annual Improvements to HKFRS Standards Cycle, issued in February 2017, added paragraph 5A and amended paragraph B17. An entity shall apply those amendments retrospectively in accordance with HKAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January Copyright 9
10 Amendments to the Basis for Conclusions on IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities After paragraph BC8, a new heading and paragraphs BC8A BC8I are added. New text is underlined. Clarification of the scope of the Standard (amendments issued in December 2016) BC8A BC8B BC8C BC8D BC8E BC8F The Board was asked to clarify the scope of IFRS 12 with respect to interests in entities within the scope of IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. Paragraph B17 states that an entity is not required to disclose summarised financial information in accordance with paragraphs B10 B16 for interests classified as held for sale. However, the requirements in paragraph 5B of IFRS 5 made it unclear whether all other requirements in IFRS 12 apply to interests in entities classified as held for sale or discontinued operations in accordance with IFRS 5. The Board noted that it had not intended to exempt an entity from all of the disclosure requirements in IFRS 12 with respect to interests in entities classified as held for sale or discontinued operations. The objective of IFRS 12 (ie to disclose information that enables users of financial statements to evaluate the nature of, and risks associated with, interests in other entities, and the effects of those interests on financial statements) is relevant to interests in other entities, regardless of whether they are within the scope of IFRS 5. Accordingly, in Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards Cycle, the Board added paragraph 5A to clarify that, except as described in paragraph B17, the requirements in IFRS 12 apply to interests in entities within the scope of IFRS 5 ie interests that are classified (or included in a disposal group that is classified) as held for sale, held for distribution to owners in their capacity as owners, or discontinued operations. Paragraph 5A refers only to interests that are classified as held for sale or discontinued operations because the clarification was needed only for interests referred to in paragraph 5B of IFRS 5. A few respondents to the Board s proposals suggested that the Board consider which requirements in IFRS 12 are particularly relevant for interests in entities within the scope of IFRS 5, and specify that an entity applies only those relevant requirements. The Board decided not to change the proposals in this respect. Although acknowledging that some requirements in IFRS 12 might be more relevant to interests within the scope of IFRS 5 than others, the Board noted that this is also true for interests not within the scope of IFRS 5. This is because the relevance of each disclosure requirement for particular interests depends on the specific facts and circumstances relating to such interests. This is implicit in the requirements in paragraph 4, which require an entity to apply judgement in determining the amount of information to disclose about its interests in other entities to satisfy the disclosure objective. In response to the Board s proposal to apply the amendments retrospectively, a few respondents asked the Board to consider whether to provide transition relief for interests in entities disposed of before or during the first year of application. Copyright 10
11 BC8G BC8H BC8I The Board decided not to provide such transition relief because: (a) the incremental costs of collecting data and preparing information are not expected to be significant this is because such information is needed for disclosure before the interests are classified as held for sale or discontinued operations; and (b) it would be inconsistent with IFRS 12, which requires disclosure even when an entity no longer has any contractual involvement with another entity. The Board decided on an effective date of 1 January 2017 for the amendments. Because the requirements in IFRS 12 generally apply only to annual financial statements, an effective date of 1 January 2017 would typically mean that the earliest an entity would be required to apply the amendments would be within financial statements for the year ended 31 December Accordingly, an effective date of 1 January 2017 provides an entity with more than a year to prepare to implement the amendments. In addition, the Board noted that the amendments are clarifying in nature. The Board decided that an option to apply the amendments early is not necessary. This is because an entity is not prohibited from disclosing additional information. Copyright 11
12 Amendments to HKAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures Paragraphs 18 and 36A are amended and paragraph 45E is added. Deleted text is struck through and new text is underlined. Exemptions from applying the equity method 18 When an investment in an associate or a joint venture is held by, or is held indirectly through, an entity that is a venture capital organisation, or a mutual fund, unit trust and similar entities including investment-linked insurance funds, the entity may elect to measure that investments in those associates and joint ventures at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with HKFRS 9. An entity shall make this election separately for each associate or joint venture, at initial recognition of the associate or joint venture. Equity method procedures 36A Notwithstanding the requirement in paragraph 36, if an entity that is not itself an investment entity has an interest in an associate or joint venture that is an investment entity, the entity may, when applying the equity method, elect to retain the fair value measurement applied by that investment entity associate or joint venture to the investment entity associate s or joint venture s interests in subsidiaries. This election is made separately for each investment entity associate or joint venture, at the later of the date on which (a) the investment entity associate or joint venture is initially recognised; (b) the associate or joint venture becomes an investment entity; and (c) the investment entity associate or joint venture first becomes a parent. Effective date and transition 45E Annual Improvements to HKFRS Standards Cycle, issued in February 2017, amended paragraphs 18 and 36A. An entity shall apply those amendments retrospectively in accordance with HKAS 8 for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January Earlier application is permitted. If an entity applies those amendments for an earlier period, it shall disclose that fact. Copyright 12
13 Amendments to the Basis for Conclusions on IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures After paragraph BC19A, a new heading and paragraphs BC19B BC19I are added. New text is underlined. Exemption from applying the equity method: measuring an associate or joint venture at fair value (amendments issued in December 2016) BC19B When an investment in an associate or joint venture is held by, or is held indirectly through, a venture capital organisation, or a mutual fund, unit trust and similar entities including investment-linked insurance funds, the entity may elect, in accordance with paragraph 18 of IAS 28, to measure that investment at fair value through profit or loss. The Board received a request to clarify whether the entity is able to choose between applying the equity method or measuring the investment at fair value for each investment, or whether instead the entity applies the same accounting to all of its investments in associates and joint ventures. BC19C The Board noted that, before it was revised in 2011, IAS 28 Investments in Associates permitted a venture capital organisation, or a mutual fund, unit trust and similar entities to elect to measure investments in an associate at fair value through profit or loss separately for each associate. However, after the revision, it had become less clear whether such an election was still available to those entities. The Board noted that it did not consider changing these requirements when revising IAS 28 in 2011, and any lack of clarity that arose as a consequence of the amendments in 2011 was unintentional. BC19D Accordingly, in Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards Cycle, the Board amended paragraph 18 of IAS 28 to clarify that a venture capital organisation, or a mutual fund, unit trust and similar entities may elect, at initial recognition, to measure investments in an associate or joint venture at fair value through profit or loss separately for each associate or joint venture. BC19E In addition, paragraph 36A of IAS 28 permits an entity that is not an investment entity to retain the fair value measurement applied by its associates and joint ventures (that are investment entities) when applying the equity method. The Board also decided to amend that paragraph to clarify that this choice is available, at initial recognition, for each investment entity associate or joint venture. BC19F Some respondents to the Board s proposals said that it was not clear whether, in its separate financial statements, a venture capital organisation or a mutual fund, unit trust and similar entities: (a) (b) could choose to measure investments in an associate or joint venture at fair value through profit or loss for each associate or joint venture; or would be required to measure all such investments at fair value through profit or loss, on the grounds that paragraph 10 of IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements requires the same accounting for each category of investments and paragraph 11 of IAS 27 requires investments measured at fair value in accordance with IAS 28 to be measured at fair value in separate financial statements. If this were to be the case, those respondents note that such an outcome would appear to be inconsistent with the objective of the amendments to IAS 28. Copyright 13
14 BC19G The Board noted that category is not defined in IFRS Standards, but is used in a number of Standards. For example, IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures uses category to refer to groupings of financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured in different ways for example, financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss is one category of financial asset and financial assets measured at amortised cost is another category of financial asset. The Board observed that paragraph 10 of IAS 27 should not be read to mean that, in all circumstances, all investments in associates are one category of investment and all investments in joint ventures are one category of investment. The issue raised by respondents arises only if the requirement in paragraph 10 of IAS 27 were to be interpreted in that way. An entity that elects to measure some associates or joint ventures at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with paragraph 18 of IAS 28 would retain that measurement basis for those associates and joint ventures in its separate financial statements, as required by paragraph 11 of IAS 27. The entity could then choose to measure its remaining associates and joint ventures either at cost, in accordance with IFRS 9 or using the equity method in accordance with paragraph 10 of IAS 27. BC19H In response to the Board s proposal to apply the amendments retrospectively, some respondents questioned whether the information needed would be available without the use of hindsight. Others suggested providing transition relief for entities that previously interpreted IAS 28 as requiring the same accounting for all investments in associates and joint ventures. They suggested that, when first applying the amendments, such entities should be allowed to elect to measure each existing investment either at fair value through profit or loss or using the equity method. BC19I The Board decided to retain retrospective application of the amendments because the amendments are expected to affect only a narrow population of entities, and such entities (being venture capital organisations, or mutual funds, unit trusts and similar entities) would typically be expected to have fair value information for their investments for management purposes. In addition, if the costs of applying the amendments retrospectively are considered excessive, an entity can choose not to change any of its previous decisions regarding measurement. This is because retrospective application of a choice of measurement for each associate or joint venture, in effect, means that an entity is not required to reassess its previous decisions. The Board also noted that retrospective application in accordance with IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors means that an entity will not use hindsight when first applying the amendments paragraph 53 of IAS 8 states that hindsight should not be used when applying a new accounting policy to a prior period, either in making assumptions about what management s intentions would have been in a prior period or in estimating the amounts recognised, measured and disclosed in a prior period.
